It's Good to Remember that Life Isn't Fair, as We Define Fairness:

On December 16, while in Nashville, Lydia and I were involved in a car wreck that wiped out our car.  We have a newer one now, a nicer one, as it turns out.  Nobody was hurt, and it wasn't Lydia's fault.  But now, we have payments to make over a three-year period.

 

We have worked to get to a position where we had no debts, no payments. Finally, this year, we were in the best financial situation we'd enjoyed in some time--and now this!  Life isn't fair, as we define fairness!  We didn't willfully start out to get a newer, nicer, bigger car.  We tried to find one we could pay for  entirely; but it was not to be.

 

God knows the financial question marks surrounding the future of this church.  He knows that full-time ministry here probably cannot long be sustained.  He knows where He wants me in future months.  I can only trust His sovereign wisdom, His good purposes, His plan.  Life isn't fair, as we define fairness; but we're not the ones to define or determine what is ultimately fair, or what is best!  We must be satisfied to be in the hands of an Almighty God!  Give me faith and patience.
